Blade Runner star to terrorize True Blood in Season 6

Krystal Clark is a Los Angeles based entertainment writer who loves all things sci-fi, comic book and fantasy. When she's not consuming other worldly genres, she likes to soak up classic cinema. Krystal has a real soft spot for Frank Cap...

According to TVLine, the actor will play "Macklyn, a mysterious and sinister figure with deep ties to Sookie and Jason." Since he's specific to the Stackhouse siblings, we wonder if he's really Warlow? It's interesting they describe Macklyn as a "figure" considering Warlow often appears as a semi-transparent entity. Coincidence? We think not.

Hauer will be billed a series regular, a status that usually gives us joy. Unfortunately, it means nothing in the world of True Blood. [Spoiler alert] Christopher Meloni received the same treatment during Season 5, and was promptly killed off halfway through its run. Who knows how long Hauer will stick around?

The actor is best known for his starring role in the sci-fi classic Blade Runner. In the film, he played a robot called Roy Batty who butts heads with Harrison Ford's Rick Deckard. Ironically, he also played a vampire in 1992's Buffy the Vampire Slayer alongside Kristy Swanson. He's no stranger to the ways of the bloodsucker. In recent years, he's appeared in Alias, Sin City and Batman Begins.
